"Many thanks for your excellent service again. The change in balance over to online entries has been amazing with only a few paper entries this year. Shows what a good service you offer!

Anyway after 25 years that's my last Cheadle 4 as race director. 255 entries and 236 finishers which is up on last year. Also 58 in the fun run which was good. Nice to bow out on a high!

Thanks again for all your help in promoting the event over the years."– Mick B (Organiser) – Cheadle 4 - July 2017

"Just a quick note to thank you for your efficient service again for this year’s event. All went well again and I note that all monies have now been paid to our account.

This was my last year arranging this event due to other constraints on my time and as it stands now, I don’t know who will be arranging it next year. Once we know who it is, I shall certainly point them in your direction with regard to online event entry. Many thanks once again.​"– Steve B (Organiser) – Darrington 5 Mile - June 2017

"A big thank you for your efforts this year. You have been a delight to deal with and I have been so impressed with your system and with John (UK timers), it all was a differnt league this year, so much more profesional.

"Thanks for everything Phil. Yesterday went really well and the consensus is it’s been our best Bluebell yet! But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It’s the months of preparation by a core team behind the scenes that delivered a great day for all the runners, volunteers and spectators. One very important member of that core team is you!

Seriously, your attention to detail, assistance and going beyond the call of duty have not gone unnoticed. For that I’d like to personally and on behalf of Stainland Lions RC thank you very much.

I look forward to working with you again in the near future."– Steve B (Organiser) – Bluebell Trail 10k - May 2017

"Our success this year is mainly due to the power of Facebook, but partly down to your emails to past competitors - thank you. As soon as our event went live I began to receive online entries. We haven’t had to post a single flyer under any car windscreen wipes which is nice. You and your software have played a massive part in our success. Not to mention your prompt replies to my many emails!"– Steve B (Organiser) – Bluebell Trail 10 – April 2017

Thanks once again."– Rachel B (Organiser) – BSSF Championship Races – March 2017

Sincere thanks again for your very generous support."– Darren B (Organiser) – RAF Shawbury Centenary 10k – January 2017

"I am delighted you can do our Black Knight race online entries for us.
